Molecular Orbitals of the cis-Cyclic Water Pentamer, (H₂O)₅

(168 KB)

This is a local minimum energy structure for the cis structure. It is not the mainly-trans global minimum for a water cyclic pentamer (COW, 168 KB). 

 

Orbitals start at zero, so the 11^th lowest energy orbital shown previously is orbital 10.

• Menu: Double right-click for options; for example, changing the orbital number, rendering or background

 

The free HyperChem Web ActiveX Viewer for COW files (2 MB) was available (and may be again) from Hypercube, Inc.
